It was revealed that the vein matrix is composed of majorite-pyrope garnet, magnesiowüstite, and ringwoodite, with FeNi FeS intergrowths. The observation and character of ring-like selected electron diffraction (SAED) patterns indicate that the idiomorphic garnet crystals in the vein matrix have different orientations. The polycrystalline nature of magnesiowüstite is also confirmed by a ring-like SAED pattern. Both garnet and magnesiowüstite crystals showed sharp diffraction spots, signifying the good crystallinity of these two minerals. The SAED pattern of cryptocrystalline ringwoodite shows only diffuse concentric diffraction rings. FeNi metal and troilite (FeS), which were molten during the shock event, occur in the matrix as fine eutectic FeNi FeS intergrowths filling the interstices between garnet and magnesiowüstite grains. Based on the phase diagram of the Allende chondrite and the results of this TEM study, it is inferred that majorite-pyrope garnet first crystallized from the Suizhou chondritic melt at 6 GPa, followed by crystallization of magnesiowüstite at 0 4 & Xie Xiande xdxie@gzb.ac.cn Key Laboratory of Mineralogy and Metallogeny, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou , China Center for Electron Microscopy, Wuhan University, Wuhan 43007, China School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha , Hunan, China Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Mineral Physics and Materials, Guangzhou , China GPa, and then ringwoodite at 18 0 GPa. The eutectic intergrowths of FeNi-metal and troilite are proposed to have crystallized during meteorite cooling and solidified at the last stage of vein formation. Keywords Suizhou meteorite Shock vein matrix Highpressure minerals Transmission electron microscopy 1 Introduction Chondritic meteorites often contain shock-produced melt veins that have the same chemical composition as the chondritic host rock. For most vein-bearing chondrites, vein width ranges from 0.1 to 10 mm, but the average width for melt veins in chondrites is estimated at mm (Xie et al. 011). The mineral assemblages in the melt veins of L-group chondrites differ considerably from those found in heavily shocked H-group chondrites. Shock melt veins in L-group chondrites contain shock-produced highpressure polymorphs, such as ringwoodite, majorite, lingunite, and high-pressure liquidus phases, such as majoritic garnet and magnesiowüstite (Binns et al. 1969; Smith and Mason 1970; Coleman 1977; Madon and Poirier 1979; Chen et al. 1996; Xie et al. 001, 011), whereas shock melt veins in heavily shocked H-chondrites contain mainly low-pressure mineral assemblages, such as recrystallized olivine and pyroxene (Chen and Xie 1997; Kimura et al. 1999, 00; Sharp and DeCarli 006). The differences in the mineral constituents of shock melt veins in L-group and H-group chondrites clearly indicate differences in the shock histories of these meteorites (Chen et al. 1996; Xie et al. 001, 011). The Suizhou L6 chondrite fell to earth at Dayanpo, situated 1.5 km southeast of Suizhou city in Hubei
2 106 Acta Geochim (016) 35(): province, China, on 15 April It was found that the melt veins in the Suizhou meteorite morphologically are the simplest, straightest, and thinnest among all shock veins known from meteorites (Xie et al. 011). The shock veins are chondritic in composition and consist of two distinct high-pressure mineral assemblages (Fig. 1): (a) coarse-grained fragments of ringwoodite, majorite, lingunite, akimotoite, vetrified perovskite, tuite, xieite, and CF-phase, that formed through solid state transformations and make up about 10 0 vol% of the veins (Xie et al. 011); and (b) fine-grained vein matrix consisting of majorite-pyrope garnet, magnesiowüstite, and ringwoodite that crystallized at high pressures and temperatures from shock-produced chondritic melt and makes up about vol% of the veins (Xie et al. 001, 003, 011, 013; Chen et al. 003, 004, 008; Chen and Xie 015). Our preliminary transmission electron microscopic (TEM) study revealed that the Suizhou vein matrix is composed of numerous euhedral crystals of garnet and tiny irregular grains of magnesiowüstite and ringwoodite, along with eutectic intergrowths of FeNi metal and troilite in the interstices between garnet crystals (Xie et al. 011). However, the occurrences and the internal microstructures of these matrix minerals are still not clearly understood. In this article, we present newly obtained TEM results to explore the morphological and mineralogical features of vein matrix minerals in the Suizhou meteorite and discuss the formation conditions of these fine-grained minerals. Samples and methods Polished thin sections were prepared from fragments of the Suizhou meteorite that contain black vein material. The shock veins and minerals were characterized using optical Fig. 1 Photomicrograph showing a shock melt vein in the Suizhou meteorite. Note the fragments of ringwoodite (Rwt), majorite (Mjt), and lingunite (Lgt) in the fine-grained vein matrix. Ol olivine; Pyx pyroxene; Mas maskelynite microscopy. Chemical compositions of minerals were analyzed with a Link ISIS 300 X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EPS) attached to a Hitachi S-3500 N scanning electron microscope and a JEOL JXA-8100 electron microprobe (EMP) at 15 kv accelerating voltage and 10 na beam current. The specimen was then prepared for TEM studies by mechanical grinding followed by ionbeam thinning with the Gatan-691 precision ion polishing system (PIPS) working at an accelerating voltage of 4.5 kv. Bright-field images and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns were obtained on a JEOL JEM-010(HT) TEM with LaB 6 filament and operated with the acceleration voltage of 00 kv at Wuhan University. Corresponding simulation of SAED patterns was performed using the kinematic theory of electron diffraction. 3 Results Our optical and TEM studies on Suizhou vein matrix revealed four mineral phases: three fine-grained highpressure mineral phases and the FeNi-FeS intergrowths. The main features of these minerals are as follows. 3.1 Euhedral garnet crystals Garnet is the main constituent mineral of the vein matrix, and is the first product of crystallization from the shockproduced dense silicate melt. Most of the garnet crystals observed had grain size of 1 lm, but crystals larger than 6 lm were also observed. Chemical compositions of garnet crystals smaller than.5 lm in size were analyzed by EDS, and those larger than 5 lm in size by electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA). Results of analyses are presented in Table 1. The larger garnet crystals were rather homogeneous while the smaller ones showed some heterogeneity in SiO, MgO, and FeO contents. However, both coarse-grained and finegrained samples showed increased Al O 3 and CaO contents, and probably increased Na O as well, in comparison with their precursor pyroxene in the Suizhou meteorite (Table 1). On the basis of its higher Al O 3 content (3.51 wt%) than that in pyroxene (0.16 wt%), this garnet mineral was identified as majorite-pyrope in solid solution. Under TEM, garnet crystals were transparent and no internal microstructures were observed (Fig. ). The garnet crystals, which displayed a smooth surface and irregular shape, appeared randomly distributed in the vein matrix. Most of the ring-like SAED (Fig. ) was indexed as garnet mineral (JCPDS No ), supported by the agreement between the experimental and simulated patterns (indicated by red line). The appearance of this ring-like SAED pattern indicates that the garnet minerals in vein matrix have

On the other hand, SAED patterns along the ½14 Gt and [110]Gt zone axes (Figs. 3, 4) were also observed in the garnet crystals (the subscript Gt denotes the garnet mineral). The diffraction spots obtained for majorite-pyrope garnet were sharp, indicating good crystallinity. 3. Irregular polycrystalline grains of magnesiowu stite Magnesiowu stite, (Mg, Fe) O, is the second most abundant mineral in the Suizhou vein matrix. It fills the interstices between garnet crystals, implying that magnesiowu stite crystallized after solidification of garnet in veins (Figs., 5). Compositions of magnesiowu stite in the Suizhou veins were measured by EDS and the obtained results are as follows (in wt%): MgO, 35.45; FeO, 6.16; TiO, 0.0; CrO3, 0.9; and SiO, 0.37 (total: 99.10). The sample s empiric formula was determined to be Wu 53-Per47, where Wu is wu stite, and Per is periclase. Under TEM, this mineral showed a clear polycrystalline nature (Fig. 3). The diameter of the polycrystalline grains ranged from several tens of nanometers to several hundred nanometers. The calculated electron diffraction lines (indicated by black lines) in Fig. were compared with those of periclase (MgO) in JCPDS No The slight increase in d-values was linked to the presence of FeO. The polycrystalline nature of magnesiowu stite was confirmed in this study by the ring-like SAED pattern (Fig. ). In addition, the SAED pattern along the [10]Mwt zone axis Fig. Bright-field TEM image (left) showing the occurrence of three composed minerals in the Suizhou vein matrix: idiomorphic crystals of majorite-pyrope garnet (Gt), irregular grains of magnesiowu stite (Mwt) in the interstices of garnets, and cryptocrystalline ringwoodite (Rwt) in the upper and lower parts of the image.

Note the polycrystalline nature of this magnesiowüstite grain. The righthand image shows the SAED pattern of garnet with zone axis = ½14Š Gt showed sharp diffraction spots (Fig. 5), signifying the good crystallinity of magnesiowüstite (the subscript Mwt denotes the magnesiowüstite). 3.3 Irregular cryptocrystalline grains of ringwoodite Ringwoodite was observed in the Suizhou veins either in the form of narrow independent bands of 3 lm in width (Figs., 4, 6), or as irregular grains filling the interstices between garnet crystals or garnet and magnesiowüstite grains (Figs. 5, 6). Under TEM, the ringwoodite appeared transparent, but with a lot of microfractures of different directions probably formed by volume shrinkage during cooling (Figs. 5, 6, 7). Their SAED pattern showed only diffuse concentric diffraction rings (Fig. 5). The SAED pattern is identical to the reflections of ringwoodite in JCPDS No It should be pointed out that some individual garnet grains might be embedded in the ringwoodite aggregate (Fig. 7). 3.4 Eutectic intergrowths of FeNi-metal and troilite FeNi metal and troilite (FeS), which were molten during the shock event, were observed in Suizhou vein matrix as fine eutectic FeNi-FeS intergrowths filling the interstices between the fine-grained high-pressure minerals garnet and magnesiowüstite (Figs., 6). The FeNi metal? FeS intergrowth grains were too small to distinguish the two constituent FeNi and FeS phases. EDS analyses on three such intergrowth grains revealed that these grains consist of Fe ( wt%), Ni ( wt%) and S ( wt%), reflecting the common composition of these two phases. 4 Discussion High-pressure minerals occurring in shocked meteorites are formed either by crystallization of silicate liquids in melt veins and pockets, or by solid state transformation of the constituent minerals in the meteorite (Chen et al. 1996). Although solid-state phase transformations can provide important constraints on shock conditions of a meteorite, transformation pressures are difficult to calibrate accurately because of kinetic effects and the heterogeneous nature of the initial transient shock pressures (Sharp and DeCarli 006). Crystallization of chondritic melt provides an alternative means of constraining the crystallization pressure, which can be related to the shock pressure of the sample (Sharp and DeCarli 006). Thus, our TEM results of the Suizhou vein matrix minerals that crystallized from shock-induced chondritic melt provide important information about the shock pressure experienced by this meteorite. This approach was first used by Chen et al. (1996), who used TEM to determine melt-vein assemblages in the Sixiangkou L6 meteorite. They found that the chondritic melt in a large melt vein crystallized to form majoritic garnet and magnesiowüstite, which, based on the phase diagram of the CV3 chondrite Allende (Agee et al. 1995) are stable at pressures between about and 7 GPa. Chen et al. (1996) inferred a crystallization pressure of about 5 GPa. The experimentally obtained phase diagram by Zhang and Herzberg (1994) for anhydrous peridotite KLB-1 shows that majoritic garnet and magnesiowüstite crystallized from silicate melt at pressures between 0 and 5 GPa. This result is close to that ( 7 GPa) given by Agee et al. (1995). Hence, it is reasonable to assume 0 6 GPa to be the crystallization pressure for these two high-

The righthand image shows the SAED pattern of magnesiowu stite with zone axis = [10]Mwt pressure minerals. The phase diagrams given by Agee et al. (1995) and Zhang and Herzberg (1994) also demonstrate that ringwoodite crystallized at pressures between 18 and 0 GPa. Based on these two phase diagrams and the crystallization sequence of the three fine-grained highpressure minerals revealed by our TEM study, we assume

Note a small, round grain of garnet (Gt) is embedded in ringwoodite that majorite-pyrope garnet first crystallized from the Suizhou chondritic melt at 6 GPa, followed by crystallization of magnesiowüstite at 0 4 GPa, and then ringwoodite at 18 0 GPa. The eutectic intergrowths of FeNi-metal and troilite crystallized during meteorite cooling and solidified at the last stage of vein formation. It is known that majoritic garnet is the high-pressure polymorph of pyroxene and ringwoodite is the high-pressure polymorph of olivine. Both are main constituent mineral phases in the transition zone of Earth s mantle. Additionally, magnesiowüstite is one of the main constituent mineral phases of the Earth s lower mantle. Hence, the results of this TEM study are of great significance in understanding Earth s mantle mineralogy.
